✕Common Mistakes
Non, ton vol n'est pas à l'heure.
In a short answer you do not say "Non, ton vol n'est pas à l'heure" unless you want to emphasize the negation; the simpler "Non, ton vol est à l'heure" is more natural.
Non, le ton vol est à l'heure.
Do not add an extra article before "vol"; "ton vol" already includes the possessive.
Non, ton vol est à le heure.
The contraction "à l'" is required before a vowel; "à le" is incorrect.

Cultural Tip
In French‑speaking countries punctuality is taken seriously, especially for trains and flights. When confirming timing, "à l'heure" is the standard phrase; avoid saying "à temps" which is more informal. Also, remember that "vol" can refer to both a flight and a theft, so context matters.
